How did Thomas Morstead end up on field for extra-point attempt vs. Vikings?

The need for the New Orleans Saints to return to the field for the end-of-game extra-point attempt Sunday has actually proven to be fruitful thanks to Thomas Morstead and some charitable Minnesota Vikings fans.

But, in the moment, it was upsetting for some Saints to have to leave the locker room and go back to the field where they'd just witnessed Stefon Diggs' miraculous game-winning touchdown that sent the Vikings to the NFC Championship.

After Diggs scored, many players and coaches went to midfield for postgame handshakes, but the Saints retreated to their locker room while the Vikings stayed on the field and reveled in victory.
